    I am going super zen right now and getting rid of everything in sight. These things are entertaining but not really reference tools. HMMMMMMMM

    read each issue again before you sell it, make any notes u want, pop it on ebay

    buy the anothologies

    I stopped buying them these days but i think i've got pretty much the first 20 or so.

    I'm missing a few, but I wonder what these would be worth all together. I'm not even sure if I'd sell em.

    i have every issue, alternate covers, the works. i think im gonna stop at #50.

    i cant remember the last time i read one cover to cover, or the last time i flicked through one and found more than a handful of things i cared about reading.

    Christ. I don't think my issues made the move from LA six years ago. At least I haven't seen them since then.

    I have this, is it worth much?

  • kicks79kicks79 1,338 Posts
    Issue 1 and 2 were fetching around $50us a few years back but i haven't checked for a while. I think they were the only ones worth cash as a lot of people slept on them and only started at issue 3.
    Also not sure what the anthologies did to the price index.

    cant remember exactly as it was awhile ago but i got 100 each for 1&2, 40 for one of the other first five, and between 20 and 30 for the rest of the first ten. after that i got between 10 and 20 for the rest.

    I auctioned off my copy of issue #1 in the first Heatrocks auction, can;t remember what it went for but it was less than $200 for sure. I still have the rest of the first 10 or so in my basement, I should dig them out and make some money, they aren't doing anything for me as it is...

    I have been tempted to purge my 1-15 collection, but I just KNOW I'll regret it 20 years down the line.

    Why is the P-Funk one (#18) going for $70?

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    Just from the perspective of retail, some of these seemed to go out of print more quickly than others. Might have something to do with the prices.

    I have 1 --> current and they ain't going nowhere. I could see why others would want to just purge 'em but to me, their value as a resource outweighs whatever I could get in selling them.
